In Spanish, “two o’clock” is said as “las dos”. The phrase “las dos” directly translates to “the two” in English, referring to the second hour on the clock.
Here’s a breakdown of the phrase:
- Las: This is the feminine plural definite article, which means “the”. It is used here because the word for hour (“hora”) is feminine in Spanish.
- Dos: This means “two”. It indicates the specific hour on the clock.
So, when telling time in Spanish, you would say “Son las dos” to mean “It is two o’clock”. The word “son” is used because it is the plural form of the verb “ser” (to be), and it agrees with the plural “las”.
